Clyne plays 90 minutes on comeback for U23s

Nathaniel Clyne played his first match for more than seven months in Liverpool U23s' Premier League Cup tie with Stoke City on Sunday.

The defender – who has been sidelined with a back injury – started the game at St George’s Park and clocked up 90 minutes without issue during a 4-0 win.

It was Clyne’s first appearance at any level for the Reds since an outing in the opening pre-season friendly of 2017-18 at Tranmere Rovers.

The England international resumed full training at Melwood earlier this month and was added to Jürgen Klopp’s Champions League squad for the knockout stages.
